If I order from a seller in Spain for €200 of stuff on amazon.es to the UK, would I pay any charges?

Why? It's one of the benefits of being in the EU.

So no duty or fees to pay either?
The parcel services just seem to slap stuff on for any reason, so just checking.

No duty as you've already paid IVA (VAT) at country of origin, I couldn't possibly comment on any other fees that might be applied though.

I bought a traveling digital tv/dvd player on Amazon
and it came from Netherlands and was not subjected
to any tax.
Believe its only outside the EU you will be subjected to TAX

I got stuff from French amazon, just charged what it said in the website, and free delivery. So I don't think so within the EU.

Thinking on, you will have to pay if it comes from The Canary Islands, even though it is still a part of Spain.

=IVA = VAT, seems a little high though. Should be 18%.
